lesaloverherboys - not sure if you saw it, I logged into CCR this afternoon and it looks like Outdoor Man is a free cartridge this week. You should be able to cut your wishes as well as anything else that catches your eye from the cart.

Haven't been around on the boards much lately, mostly because I haven't had a chance to do any scrapbooking. However, went to a friends house this past weekend and got some motivation back. I'll post a request or 2 later.

I certainly have missed being active in this group. Life was turned upside down for us during the month of May and we're hoping it stabilizes in the next few weeks. I'm not sure how much more I can handle.

A co-worker (and friend of mine) had surgery in May and was supposed to be off on medical leave for 2 weeks but due to complications it turned into 8! We do the same job so I have added all of her families onto my caseload until she returns. Not complaining but it has been overwhelming and stressful some days.

My next big stressor is that my parents had a serious car accident on their way to Tennessee. Thankfully, no one was injured, but their trailer was totaled and we are waiting to hear about the truck. It has been a long few weeks trying to help them jump the insurance hoops.

The last big stressor is that my car is dying! I stopped by my familiar mechanic to have my oil level checked like I do every 2 weeks and I told him about a squeal sound that I had just started to hear a few days prior. He proceeds to try it and then announces the transmission is going. (there were bigger car repair words, but I don't get it) I've been going to this guy for ages so I totally trust his opinion. He is friends with my Dad and honestly I don't think he'd steer me wrong. He then tells me that I can't leave the county with my car as he doesn't trust it! Repair bill is about $600 or buy a new one. This is about 18 hours before we are to leave for vacation using my car!!!!! Feeling pressured we start car shopping. The mechanic also sells used cars so we look at a mini van that he has on his lot. We borrow one of my parents' cars and go on vacation for a few days. We are leaving for part 2 of our vacation on Friday. I am not making a car decision until next week.

Well on my vacation, as I am sitting in my chair by the campfire it dawns on me that I might owe someone some cuts. My husband told me that I relaxed too much in those 4 days. Honestly, I feel like a different person!!! I can't find any as I search, but I just have the feeling that I do owe someone something. If it is you, please message me and let me know. I am leaving on Friday for the weekend as my son's Boy Scout troop is heading to the beach and I plan on chaperoning. I need a trip to the beach!!!

I hope life settles in July so I can return to normal.

I do apologize if I messed up and forgot something. I know my mind has left me with all of the stress.

I am so sorry to hear about all of the stress you are having. Hopefully things improve for you soon. It sounds like your vacation helped you some.

About your parents trailer accident, did that happen on Sunday the 9th of June? We were on vacation headed to South Carolina when we saw a truck and camper trailer accident. Just curious if it was your parents. I am happy to hear they are ok.

I have both of your addresses from previous swaps, like I said it may be the middle of the week or even next weekend before I can get to them. Please let me know if that is a problem.
